ned help with making mod

[speedy45]

I am trying make a mod by editing mod I download. So I am trying to make a mod that research all research in the game, So I try that and get the following error:

Error while running the oninit...n\Application Data\Factorio\mods\quick-start\control.lua:34:attempt to index field "advanced-chemistry" (a nil value)

So my question I get this error with any of the research that is in the game, so why I am getting this error?

If you would share code that you are using, then someone could help you. Right now we don't know anything.

[speedy45]

ok here is the code I am using for each research in the game:

game.player.force.technologies["advanced-chemistry"].researched = true

[Turtle]

You don't really need a mod for this. Just run this command:

Code: Select all

for _, tech in pairs(game.player.force.technologies) do tech.researched = true end

[Devcod]

You are right Turtle, there is no need to use a mod, unless if he want it for every game / future mod techs, then mod would be ok.

Speedy45, if you want to have all technologies researched every time with modification turned on, you should do it like this:

Code: Select all

require "defines"

game.oninit(function()
 for _, tech in pairs(game.player.force.technologies) do tech.researched = true end
end)

I am not sure if defines is needed but I will leave it. It should work without any modification.
If you want to unlock technologies only for single game/map then you should use console and code that Turtle gave you.
You can open console with ` (or ~) button. You just need to write it there and it will work.

There is also this.

Code: Select all

game.player.force.researchalltechnologies()

ok I will test this and let you know:
